In September 2007, the ImmigrationProf blog ran an exclusive interview on immigration with Senator BarackObama, then a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Nearly, three years have passed and President Obama has been President for close to 18 months. With the passage of time, the interview is well worth reading again. One unequivocal promise sticks out -- Senator Obama pledged to do what President Bush could not and commence a serious discussion of comprehensive immigration reform in his first year in the White House.
